Samsung i7 camera. Pointless having a rotating LCD?

The new digital camera of Samsung's, the i7, is not only a camera. It's both the combination of a digital camera and a portable media player (PMP). As a

Expert Review

If you're after a decent digital camera, there are better options on the market than this one. If you want an MP3 and video player that can also take a photo here or there, then the i7 can be considered, but it's not a high quality product.

All-in-one device; can play videos and MP3s as well as take photos; touch screen menu interface

Poor photo quality, has a 2.5mm headphone jack instead of 3.5mm, screen is uncomfortable for watching videos

Samsung i7 digital camera

It's taken me some time to get to play with the i7 but it's worth a look since it is a very interesting camera indeed, or rather, it's a very interesting multimedia device. And anyone familiar with Samsung camera products will know the company is a...

Build and styling, simple controls, massive feature set

Sluggish performance: slow zoom, slow AF, slow menu and device adjustment and operation via GUI, shutter lag, excessive noise and detail loss in ISO 400 and above images

As a multimedia device the i7 is very clever but as a camera, it could do much much better but if it’s just snaps you want and feel the need for all those lovely extras, it may still be for you.

Samsung i7

The Samsung i7 is fun and unusual, but the twist-screen gimmick may be lost on some.The high price tag, however, is only justified if you value convenience and novelty value over great pictures.

Large 3-inch touchscreen ; Novelty value ; Competent camera ; Generous internal memory

No frills devices ; Lacklustre tour guide

The camera is a solid performer, if a bit slow, while the other features are functional at least. The screen is large and the touchscreen interface intuitive. If convenience and a bit of novelty are what you're looking for, the i7 is worth a look.

It's another flawless-looking Samsung – with a twist. A revolving screen. We just had to take it for a spin…

Gotta love that revolving screen – but remind us again what exactly the point of it is

Samsung i7

An elegant-looking multimedia digicam that's slim enough to fit in a jacket pocket or purse.Like the i85 model we reviewed recently, Samsung's 7.2-megapixel i7 model is more than just a camera. It combines a point-and-shoot digicam with an MP3 player...

Photographs taken with the review camera appeared bright with natural-looking colours. Exposures were pitched to record shadow detail, leaving highlights blown-out. Saturation was slightly elevated. Imatest confirmed the increased saturation and showed...
